    LibeRIA BULLETIN Bimonthly published by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees - Liberia 1 October 2004 Vol. 1, Issue No. 4 Voluntary Repatriation Started October 1, 2004 The inaugural convoys of 77 Liberian refugees from Sierra Leone and 97 from Ghana arrived to Liberia on October 1, 2004, which marked the commencement of the UNHCR voluntary repatriation. Only two weeks prior to the beginning of the repatriation, the County Resettlement Assessment Committee (CRAC) pro- claimed four counties safe for return – Grand Cape Mount, Bomi, Gbarpolu and Margibi. The first group of refugees from Sierra Leone is returning to their homes in Grand Cape Mount. UNHCR is only facilitating re- turns to safe areas. Upon arrival, returnees have the option to spend a couple of nights in transit centers (TC) before returning to their areas of origin. At the TC, they received water, cooked meals, health care, as well as a two-months resettlement ration and a Non- Signing of Tripartite Agreement with Guinea Food Items (NFI) package. With the signing of the Tripartite Agreements, which took place in Accra, Ghana, on September 22, 2004 with the Ghanian government and in Monrovia, Liberia, on September 27, 2004 with the governments of Si- erra Leone, Guinea and Cote d’Ivorie, binding agree- ment has been established between UNHCR, asylum countries and Liberia. WFP and UNHCR held a regional meeting on Septem- ber 27, 2004 in Monrovia and discussed repatriation plans for Liberian refugees and IDPs. WFP explained that despite the current food pipeline constraints, the repatriation of refugees remains a priority for the Country Office.

  • Congressional Budget Justification 2015
    U.S. AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION Pathways to Prosperity “Making Africa’s Growth Story Real in Grassroots Communities” CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET JUSTIFICATION Fiscal Year 2015 March 31, 2014 Washington, D.C. United States African Development Foundation (This page was intentionally left blank) 2 USADF 2015 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET JUSTIFICATION United States African Development Foundation THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION WASHINGTON, DC We are pleased to present to the Congress the Administration’s FY 2015 budget justification for the United States African Development Foundation (USADF). The FY 2015 request of $24 million will provide resources to establish new grants in 15 African countries and to support an active portfolio of 350 grants to producer groups engaged in community-based enterprises. USADF is a Federally-funded, public corporation promoting economic development among marginalized populations in Sub-Saharan Africa. USADF impacts 1,500,000 people each year in underserved communities across Africa. Its innovative direct grants program (less than $250,000 per grant) supports sustainable African-originated business solutions that improve food security, generate jobs, and increase family incomes. In addition to making an economic impact in rural populations, USADF’s programs are at the forefront of creating a network of in-country technical service providers with local expertise critical to advancing Africa’s long-term development needs. USADF furthers U.S. priorities by directing small amounts of development resources to disenfranchised groups in hard to reach, sensitive regions across Africa. USADF ensures that critical U.S. development initiatives such as Ending Extreme Poverty, Feed the Future, Power Africa, and the Young African Leaders Initiative reach out to those communities often left out of Africa’s growth story.
